Swimming PigsA Poem by Esoteric StrandBizarro in the BahamasBahamas Somewhere in there But then again this has-been finds remembering hard; it’s hard to say, with all those bays and cays. Someone left the door open; someone’s wallet was stolen; someone didn’t find this out until someone’s tab was tapped out. the Musha Hotel staff acted promptly, and promptly ejected the unlucky lout. And lickity-split, I’m adrift on a rickety skiff. No Captain Harris to offer me a spliff (he was from the previous trip). But lonesome just means the talking (to myself) increases exponentially. (as if that would help) Almost emerald-esque, I think my drink shone. As a matter of fact: jewel-like, as an aqueous treasure-trove. Myself got lost, to say the least and most. But still: I refuse to mention the blue skies, especially the white sand coast. Halfway dragged the vessel, as the Swimming Pigs greeted me. All hungry, snorting, oinking, and somehow actually swimming! Porcine Freestyle The Swine-stroke Boars, wild pigs no porking joke But the eager beasts soon lost interest. No food! I unknowingly added injury to insult. The feral creatures swam all that way to be let down, this many-pigleted Cargo Cult. Stumble and mumble in a fugue state Simply can’t fill the breach in my speech. Why does this happen? Words with my troubles. Yeah, I like long walks on the b***h, beach. Then, I fully discovered some halfway buried things: A pair of Ray-Ban Clubmaster 3016’s An old-fashioned Walkman, Metal-Ballads mix-tape set to Warrant’s “Heaven.” As a newbie nobody, was this to be the new me? What was in that green drink? My future: Clutching wet granules Wandering shorelines To snuffle and cuddle To fall asleep amid pigs Surely not, but myself got lost. (This perturbed face reflected in sunglasses.) “Where are you?” “Where are you?” “Where are you?” Unanswerable. This question cannot be tackled. As it turns out, I desperately need my shackles. © 2011 Esoteric StrandReviews
